31 Aceh fishermen arrest in Myanmar

BANDA ACEH: Myanmarese authorities have arrested 31 Acehnese
fishermen for illegally fishing in their waters.

Adli Abdulah, secretary of the Aceh sea customs, said here on
Friday that the fishermen were staying in two prisons in
Myanmarese towns of Kawhtong and Myeik.

The Indonesian Embassy in Yangoon have had difficulties to
deal with their release because the two prisons were located at
far locations and it had financial difficulties to repatriate
them.

He said the Myanmarese released eight Acehnese fishermen with
the similar case on April 10 and they had already arrived home.
